/**
 * This is the Runtime system for Velocity. It is the
 * single access point for all functionality in Velocity.
 * It adheres to the mediator pattern and is the only
 * structure that developers need to be familiar with
 * in order to get Velocity to perform.
 *
 * The Runtime will also cooperate with external
 * systems like Turbine. Runtime properties can
 * set and then the Runtime is initialized.
 *
 * Turbine, for example, knows where the templates
 * are to be loaded from, and where the Velocity
 * log file should be placed.
 *
 * So in the case of Velocity cooperating with Turbine
 * the code might look something like the following:
 *
 * <blockquote><code><pre>
 * ri.setProperty(Runtime.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH, templatePath);
 * ri.setProperty(Runtime.RUNTIME_LOG, pathToVelocityLog);
 * ri.init();
 * </pre></code></blockquote>
 *

 * N O T E S  O N  R U N T I M E  I N I T I A L I Z A T I O N
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 * init()
 *
 * If init() is called by itself the RuntimeInstance will initialize
 * with a set of default values.
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 * init(String/Properties)
 *
 * In this case the default velocity properties are layed down
 * first to provide a solid base, then any properties provided
 * in the given properties object will override the corresponding
 * default property.
